Allotments 4 All

Woke this morning to quite a snow fall.  about 4 to 5 inches deep.  It snowed off and on most of the morning and now we have a hard frost.   I even had to cancel an appointment because of the dodgy roads and that was after OH dug my car out of the drive.   Winter has started early this year.

Well, you keep it up there please Carol.   ;D

Bit rough over on the north island is it? ;D

Will you really keep it 'north of the border'.  This coming Saturday is our monthly 'treat'.  We like to go to Bakewell Farmers' Market, then to Chatsworth Farm Shop.  We then go to Sainbsburys in Matlock, back to Ashbourne and M&S food only store.

Possibly a bit sad, but we do acquire some wonderful food.  (Being a daft old pair of foodies.) ;D ;D

Maybe see you at Bakewell Farmers market :D.
Don't you just love the mushroom stall?

Wow, yes.  It is just so fantastic.

We tend to get there early, ie about 9.00a.mish

Give us a pm, and perhaps we can meet up.

It really is a wonderful Farmers' Market.

As a "foodie" Valmarg do you know a source of brandy snap baskets? Sainsbo's don't stock them anymore but they tend to be milk-free and so a good base for a posh dessert for intolernat so and so's like me...  :-X

Hopefully, if it doesn't snow any more and the gritters have been out, I hope to get to M & S tomorrow for some food.   

Snow has to cover most of the country by the weekend by the way.

;D ;D

That would be nice Valmarg, but we plan to go a bit later this Saturday. I'll PM you another time as it would be nice to meet! We go fairly regular if 'm not working. :D

Saddad, last time we were in morrison's they had brandy baskets, going today so will have a look for you  :)

could make your own?  8)

Too much faff...
the others often have "desserts" that I can't join in with and like merangue (?) it is just something "quick" OH can get out of the cupboard...  :-X

Sorry saddad, it's not something we eat, but with a bit of luck manics will be able to help.

I would find it extremely difficult to cope with your dairy intolerance, but I'll have a look in the library to see if there are any suggestions, that might be helpful.

we've hijacked, sorry but tesco's have them - 6 for £1.79

or you could just stuff the snap and just have the brandy  ;D

not snowing here yet  8)

Now that sounds my kind of recipe. ;D ;D

If they did single malt baskets then I'd take that advice... not snowing here yet either...  :)

No snow to report.     ;D ;D ;D

Snow here, last 3 days. But not settled, just slushy wet so doesn't really count. Mind you, the city was really quiet this morning (unlike the rest of the week with people shopping like there's no tomorrow, madness) and lots of the market stalls were shut  ???  ???

Saddad have you tried Worthenshaws Freedom frozen dessert yet? No dairy, soya, nuts or cholestrol. Made from rice milk with coconut oil.
